Hi, Tippers:

I have a drawing that wasn't saving in the drawing board for some reason -- was saving offcenter -- when I went to save it for web.

Then I realized it is because of the text I had placed on a circle around the outside of the image. Ill made a large box around the thing and the box was being accounted for when I went to save to jpg.

How do you deal with those boxes, and how can you get an image like this one to fill up more of the space? It's going on a t-shirt, so I am essentially paying for all the space taken up by the overlapping boxes that aren't even part of the art.

Please let me know!

Many thanks. NY

You could create outlines of the type.
Or put the type on a path...

Marcus,

But the type IS on a path! It's on a circle.

Ill. CS deals with the circle like this.

[o] with grabby handles to control the circle.

Thanks. Please help me brainstorm. I'll try and convert to outlines but it's not immediately obvious to me why that would work. If it does, I'll come back and star you up!

Thanks again, NY
